Chapter 517 Bole
Luo Chuan frowned and thought for a moment. His fingertips fell on the black "general". He wanted to move it a step to the side, but in the blink of an eye he saw Gu Xu's "car" and "cannon" "We are watching with eager eyes.
He shook his head and laughed at himself: "The emperor is one step ahead, and I feel ashamed."
Gu Xu also smiled lightly: "It's just a fluke."
Of these two people, one is unparalleled in the world in his ability to deduce secrets, and the other holds an astrolabe in his hand to understand cause and effect. If they were to try their best to confront each other on the chessboard, it would definitely be a bloody and dark time.
It's a pity that Gu Xu only wants to have fun and entertainment, and Luo Chuan doesn't want to dampen the emperor's interest. The two of them coincidentally did not use their extraordinary abilities, just like two idlers looking for fun when they were bored.
"It was the emperor's foresight," Luo Chuan pointed to the chessboard in front of him and responded with a smile, "When all the chess pieces go to the positions they should go under the emperor's command, victory becomes a matter of course. ”
Of course Gu Xu could hear that Luo Chuan’s words seemed to refer to a chess game, but it was not a chess game.
He didn't like to mince words, so he went straight to the point: "Wenchang, do you have a way to deal with the ghost body of Emperor Tianxing?"
Now Gu Xu can use the astrolabe and the Authority has insight into everything in the world. It is not difficult for him to obtain the secret information of the Daqi Dynasty.
But there are also blind spots in his vision.
For example, the "Principle of Tao" of the eighth realm strongman.
After all, the "field of Tao" is an independent space for the true king and the strong to evolve with their own Taoism. Strictly speaking, it is not within the scope of the wild world.
This is even more true for the "Secret Realm of Heavenly Dragon" opened up from nothingness by Emperor Tianxing.
Therefore, when Emperor Tianxing's ghost body was sealed at the bottom of the well, Gu Xu didn't know about his existence. However, when the ghost left the deep well and entered the wild world, he was exposed to Gu Xu's sight.
After that, Gu Xu followed the line of cause and effect and gradually understood the cause of the whole thing.
At this moment, Gu Xu deeply realized what it means to "know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."
If he didn't have an astrolabe and the ability to know the world's affairs, then he wouldn't make preparations until the ghost of Emperor Tianxing came to his door, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"The emperor does not need to worry too much," Luo Chuan replied, "Although the ghost body of Emperor Tianxing has the strength of the eighth realm, he does not have the authority to control the 'Tai'a Sword', and his strength is far greater. Far inferior to the guy sitting in the Qianyang Palace. If he really dares to come to trouble the emperor, I am willing to be the emperor's personal bodyguard and make him die immediately."
< br>Gu Xu understood that the implication of Luo Chuan's words was: "The ghost body of Emperor Tianxing is not as strong as me."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "But once you take action, your true identity will be exposed in front of the Daqi court. Unless it is a last resort, I don't want to lose a nail that has penetrated deeply into Daqi's heart."
< br>"In my opinion, if there is a head-on battle, with Zhao Changying and Xu Man teaming up, it will be difficult for the ghost body of Emperor Tianxing to take advantage," Luo Chuan said, "It's just that I'm worried that he has been suppressed for many years, and his mind It is inevitable that he has accumulated a lot of dark thoughts. Recently, he asked the emperor to act with caution and be careful of his dirty tricks."
Gu Xu nodded.
He glanced at the astrolabe in his arms, thinking that with this magic weapon in hand, any tricks of Emperor Tianxing's ghost body should not be hidden from his eyes.
"Wenchang."
"What is the emperor's order?"
"Jin Hongcai, the magistrate of Zhaowu Heihe County, allowed his officials to tamper with the accounts, secretly increased taxes from the people, and enriched his own pockets. I don't want my reputation to be ruined in the hands of such a person."
"The emergence of such corrupt officials under the emperor's rule is due to our negligence. I will send someone to Zhaowu immediately, remove Jin Hongcai from his post, and question him." "Zhangye Liuxu County The county magistrate, Ma Kaize, secretly accepted bribes to acquit the murderer of the murder and let him go unpunished."
"It is the ineffective governance of the ministers that allowed this kind of thing. The profit-seeking officials have stained the emperor's eyes. I will send someone to resolve the matter as soon as possible and punish Ma Kaize severely."
"Lu Yuquan, the chief clerk of Liuhe County in Yumen Prefecture, copied the household registration of the people indiscriminately, making frequent mistakes and omissions, disrupting people's livelihood."
"The old minister will replace him immediately."
"..."
The astrolabe showed the true face of the entire wild world in front of Gu Xu, including the prosperous side and the shadows hidden in the dark.
Gu Xu finally understood deeply why many new policies and reforms in ancient times had good starting points, but when they were actually implemented, they caused trouble and even became worse than before.
Because even if you are a wise king and a wise prime minister, you cannot guarantee that all the people under your command will serve the country and the people and have no selfish motives. If they don't go to the people in person, they will often be deceived by the lies of their subordinates, thinking that the sun is shining all over the world and the shadows have nowhere to hide, but they don't know that the victims are everywhere and the people are in dire straits.
Gu Xu knew that he was not good at governing a country.
But with the help of the astrolabe, he can discover the moths hiding under his command earlier and pull them out before they harm the people further. And other people can also learn from this.
Gu Xu is not sure that he will become a wise monarch in the future. But he believed that at least the people under his rule would live better than under Emperor Tianxing.
Of course, there must be rewards as well as punishments.
“Also,” he paused for a moment, then continued, “Changlong Pengjing in Niuwei Village, Huangshui County, Linqiang, organized the villagers to dig mountains and build roads and repair canals. When the funds were insufficient, he sold off his property, solely to improve the lives of the villagers.
"Zhenghe Yuanju, a resident of Mamian Village in Yanjianshui County, is a second-level practitioner, but he refused the invitation to make offerings to a wealthy family and returned to his hometown to protect the villagers from being trapped in the wilderness. The intrusion of ghosts has enabled them to spend every night sleeping peacefully over the years.
“There is a young man named Yu Hongliang in Zhaowu Heshou County. He is very talented in Talisman and has a heart to help the world and bring peace to the people. My dear, I hope he can join my army so that his talents will not be wasted.
"..."
While Gu Xu spoke, Luo Chuan carefully wrote down the names he read.
There is Bole in the world, and then there is the thousand-mile horse. A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.
Gu Xu had read some history in his previous life and saw many celebrities shining brightly, leaving indelible traces in the long history. However, more knowledgeable people are buried in the dust and forgotten by history due to lack of opportunities and no one appreciates them.
In this life, he does not want to see too many people like this with lifelong regrets.
Now that the astrolabe is in hand, he is willing to be this Bole.
He hopes that his people will know that as long as they work hard and do more practical things, they will have a bright road to advancement, and they no longer have to do things behind the scenes.
He is not a true god.
But he is willing to be like a god, impartial and fraternal, discerning everything, and watching everyone in the world equally.
